Description

Latchend and the adjoining cottage are a pair of estate cottages built in 1844 for the Saul family of nearby Brunstock House. The cottages feature brick walls with red sandstone dressings and timber decorations, topped with a slate roof and brick chimney stacks. They are single storey and consist of three bays each.

Each cottage has a gabled entrance porch made of brick with a slate roof, featuring a rounded-head sandstone surround and decorative bargeboards that resemble snakes. There are two dormers on each cottage, with a shared central projecting dormer that is partially timber framed and supported by slender cinque-form columns. The windows include a cross mullion and triple windows, with a central double window flanked by sandstone niches. Above this, there is a small oriel window with carved and moulded surrounds, topped by a carved pigeon. The windows have patterned casements, and there are carved sandstone heads above the windows to the right and left of the entrances.

The chimney stacks are set on square bases with angled square shafts. The gables feature carved stones with raised initials "S" (for Saul) and the date. The listing does not include a 20th-century extension to the rear.
